Advice to a Young Man.
Birdette IN Brooklyn Eagle.

My boy, when you meet good hearted, genial
fellow, open-handed and generous, who spends
money freely when he has it, who doesn't know
the value of money" who only esteems it for
the good it can do, who believes in the lively
shilling, and always does his best to make it
lively, who can't hoard up money for the life of
him. who gets it and spends it, end then gets
more to spend, so that all of us may get little
of it, who doesn't put down every cent he lets a
friend have, as though he was a money lender
who, if he has only 81 in the world let you have
SOC. of it if you ask for it; good, whole-souled
generous fellow, who knows no more and cares
no more about money than a pig does about
Greek, and he is a little hard up,
and wants to borrow $40 of you for
a few days-my boy, don't you lend him a
cent; don't lend him cent Eli? Do want you
to be mean, close listed, stingy, weighing all
friendship and good fellowship ON the scales of
the money lender? Oh no. my boy, didn't say
anything of the kind. | said, and repeat it,
don't lend him cent" / don't want you to
be mean, l only want you to be business like
Give him $40 if you have it to subscribe and feel
like it; give him what money you can spare, and
your heart and head justify you in giving, but
never lend that kind of a man dollar. Only
lend money where there is at least a remote pos
sibility of its being paid back. That's all. You
may go, now. By the way, took care of that
note of Jack Merrihart's that you didn't tell me
anything about it's all right now, only don't
lend Jack any more than you con afford to give
him. A man who has no idea of the value of
his own money has just as little comprehension
of the value of yours.

The State Fair.

Macon is bending all her energies to make
the approaching State Fair a success. She
ought to have the cooperation Of all Geor-
gia, if there is a well-scttled determination
to make the fair permanent institution.
Several counties have announced their in
tention to compete for the prize offered for
the best county display, and most of the
towns and cities are also preparing exhibits.
The State Agricultural Society has ceased
to be political machine, and is now di-
rected by gentlemen whose sole purpose is
to make it means of accomplishing good
for the farmers. The committees that have
charge of the various departments of the
fair are composed of enthusiastic farmers,
and their plans have been so well prepared
that there is no doubt of their being success
fully carried out The Commissioner of
Agriculture, Hon J. T. Henderson, who is
interested in all agricultural matters, will
no doubt lend valuable aid
The section of the State which is immedi-
ately tributary to Savannah ought not to
neglect the opportunity which the fair will
afford of making known the advantages
peculiar to the timber region. 1t is under
stood that extraordinary efforts will be
made to bring representative citizens OF
Northern and Western States to Macon
while the fair is in progress, and they ought
to be given an adequate idea of the the
timber resources of South Georgia. Mobile
is preparing to build ships. The country
around Savannah abounds in material suit
able for shipbuilding, and proper exhibit
at the fair may draw attention to it.
The timber interest, however, is not the
only one that should be represented. South
Georgia is an importante gricultural region,
and the as r.cultural interest should by all
means be represented. Through Savan-
nah all the principal markets of
the world are easily reached, and
a complete exhibit of the agricultural
products of South Georgia, together with a
proper explanation of Savannah's advan-
tages as port of exports could not fail to
mako favorable impression upon the
Northern and Western visitors to the fair
When the immigrant is invited to settle in
particular section of the country he natu
rally asks: "What inducements do you Of
fer?" The State Fair will afford fine OPP
portunity for answering this question as far
as the region around Savannah is concerned,
and the opportunity ought to be utilized.

Points About Petroleum.

A new oil field is about to be opened. 1t
is in Burmah, the country lately acquired
by England in India. The oil field is located
on the Irawady river, less than a hundred
miles from the terminus of the Rangoon rail
way Oil has also been discovered in Assam
and in a couple of islands off Burmah's
coast. A geologist who has inspected these
new oil fields expresses the opinion that they
are capable of producing enough oil to sup
ply the world for the next half century
The existence of oil in Burmah has been
known for century or more, but its value
was unknown by the natives. 1t is proba-
BILE that England will now become the com
petitor of this country and Russia in the
markets of the world as an oil producer. In
the markets OF India, Australia and some
other countries she will have adj
vantages over her competitors, and
in few years, perhaps, will
have monopoly of those markets. The
Russian wells at Ballu are wonderful pro-
ducers. 1t is only about twelve years since
they were opened but in that period they
have yielded many millions of barrels of oil.
One has produced 100000 barrels and
twenty-five 7,600,00 barrels. The average
depth of the wells is about 500 feet, the
shallowest being about 200 and the deepest
about 900 feet
Balzu is a walled city and formerly be
ionged to Persia. For many years, how
ever, it has been under the jurisdiction of
Russia. 1t is located on the Eastern shore
OF the Caspian sea, and is nearly 600 miles
from Batoum, on the Black sea. The wells
are eight miles north of Baku where the re-
filming is done, and to which the oil is CON
veyed in pipes. The territory in which
they are located is desolate The wells do
not occupy more than four miles square, but
it is believed that there is an immense
region that will produce oil and
only awaits development. There is a
proposition to run pipe from Baku to
Batoum to save the heavy railroad freight.
The cost would be about $4,000, 000 but
capitalists are afraid to invest in it. They
do not feel certain that the wells will be per-
manent.
The oil of neither the Russian nor the Bur
NAH wells is as valuable as that found in
this country. From 100 gallons of crude
Pennsylvania oil IS gallons of refined oil are
obtained while from the same amount
of crude Russian oil only so gallons
are secured. The Burlnah oil is not so good
as the Russian The American oil, there
fore, may be able to hold its place in the
markets of the world unless a change in the
kerosene lamp is made The Yankee now
makes the lamp for the world and it is in
tended for the high grade American OIL A
lamp could be made, though it would not be
so convenient, to burn a low grade oil.
The light would be just as good
but the lamp would be open to several
objections. If a lamp of that sort were in
PRODUCED the refiners Of the Burmah and
Russian oils would be able to realize 60
instead of 80 gallons of oil from 100
gallons of the crude material 1t is
not improbable that within the next few
years there will be some very marked
changes in the petroleum business owing to
England's entrance into it as an oil pro-

The Wretched Wren's Wild Wall.


The following charming story comes to us
from Warner, ILL.,: CLOSE to my Office window,
as | write this see a wren's nest. Three years
ago | drove some nails in sheltered corner; a
pair Of wren's built their nest there. The old
birds often come into my office and sing. One
of them has repeatedly alighted on my desk as
l have been writing, saying plainly by his &C
tons: You won't hurt me. We are friends
A few years since, in knothole in dead tree
near a path from my Office to my house, lived a
family of wrens, with whom ! had formed a
very intimate acquaintance. One day while
was passing in q hurry l heard the two old birds
uttering cries of fear and anger. and as | got
past the tree one of the wrens followed me and
by its peculiar motions and cries induced me to
turn back.
Il examined the nest and found the young
birds all right; looked into the trees branches
but saw no enemies there, and started away
Both birds then followed me with renewed cries
and when was few yards away they flew in
front of me, tuttereda moment and then darted
back TO the tree. Then one Of them came back
to rae futtering and crying, then darted from
me near to the ground under the tree. ! looked
and there lay a rattlesnake, cooled ready to
strike | secured q stick and killed him. the
wrens looking on from the tree, and the moment
did SO they changed their song to a lively,
happy one, seeming to say Thank YOU in every
note. w. W. W."
